So today I got fed up and called DTV for some answers. As expected, they blamed NW Broadcasting and NW Broadcasting blames DTV. I don't much care but I reckon both are to blame. What I do care about is that DTV continues to bill the same amount as they did prior to the blackout and that is BS.
The focus of my phone call was to get a rate reduction that would be retroactive to the beginning of the blackout. After being on hold for a few minutes I was told this: (not verbatim), There can be no rebate because DTV does not charge me for any local channels. They are essentially free. So that was good news to me! I told them to cancel all of the other channels and I'd just keep all of the "free" channels.
Well apparently I was not understanding them. What they were trying to tell me was that I have to pay to get them but if I want a refund that they owe me nothing because they are free.Allrighty then.
So DTV has been cancelled at our house. And this is no victory for the local channels because they can kiss my ass, too.
Stream on!
So you lost Fox TV? Channel 26 on antenna? What else?
